#Episode 140
“Listen carefully. I’m warning you exactly once, for the first and last time.”
Jin Shihou’s gaze was looking beyond the Goyourun. Jin Shihou continued speaking.
“If you touch anyone around me, I will kill them all. From the end of the star to the end, across the canal, tearing apart space and time, I will kill them all by any means necessary. Do you understand?”
I’m sure you understood. I’m sure it was conveyed well.
To Jin Shihou, Gowoorun said a word.
“… … I can only feel relieved that your end is near.”
“okay?”
“You’re sticking your teeth into the ascended ones? It’s really funny how you’re so arrogant and confident in your own meager power.”
“Is that what it sounded like?”
“Ha, you idiot. You will regret it. The ascenders who heard all your stories are already angry enough. You will die soon.”
“Thank goodness. I was a little worried because I thought I was talking to myself.”
“… … .”
“I warned you clearly. Whether you listen to it or not is your problem, not mine. Now, let’s get to the point.”
“… … The main point?”
“You said you like trading. We should trade.”
Gowoorun let out a sigh, his expression looking as if he was fed up.
“… … Ha… … This kid is not even human.”
“Thank you for the compliment, but is there a pocket I didn’t see before?”
Goeuroon was startled.
I forgot.
I was so busy watching the fight between Cheonma and Jin Shihou that I didn’t have time to think.
From the beginning, Gowoorun thought that Cheonma would defeat Jin Shihou. That’s why he had already taken out ‘that thing’ that he had to give to the ascenders. Since the volume was not that big, he put it in a small pouch, and now Jin Shihou saw that pouch.
Goeuroon quickly tried to put the pouch into the subspace, but it was too late.
With a snap, the pouch falls into Jin Shi-hoo’s hand.
“Ah… … No… … .”
“What’s not working?”
“… … Hand it over. It’s not too late.”
Jin Shihou chuckled.
“Look at this. What is it that makes the reaction change like this?”
Jin Shi-hoo took out something that was inside after taking a quick look inside.
It was a small ring.
“Hmm… … . I think I’ve seen this somewhere.”
“That can’t be. Where would someone like you see that… … Huh?”
Goeuroon was truly embarrassed at this moment.
I didn’t know until now. To be honest, since meeting Jin Shihou, Gowoon was curious about Jin Shihou as a person, but he wasn’t interested in the clothes he was wearing or the accessories he was wearing. The word priority is not there for nothing.
And now, Goeuroon sees the ring that Jin Shihou is wearing on his left ring finger.
The ring and the ring he took out of his pocket were very similar.
“That’s strange. Is this the same type?”
There was no need to say anything else.
Goeuroon blinked. All the emotions, confusion and shock, were there.
“How… how could you… … possess the ring of the Heavenly King… .”
“Oh, is this it? That set item you mentioned?”
“… … .”
“I don’t know much about this because I don’t have the information view function like other Awakened people, but is this good? This mask ring is also pretty useful.”
A small light burst out from Jin Shihou’s ring finger, and soon a mask appeared on Jin Shihou’s face.
Jin Shi-hoo turns his mask to the side and smirks.
“What kind of effect will this have? I don’t usually collect things like this, but I’m curious about this.”
Cool, blood is gushing out of Goeuroon’s mouth. The dagger is still stuck in his forehead. Jin Shihou said.
“That dagger, you must have felt it, but it’s not an ordinary dagger. If you keep doing this for about 5 minutes, you’ll die.”
“… … .”
“Okay, now let’s make a real deal.”
Goeuroon thought.
What kind of bastard is this?
“… … Didn’t you just take that ‘Heavenly Ring of Love’?”
“What are you talking about? I picked this up. You didn’t give it to me.”
It was ridiculous.
“… … That punk kid.”
“Thank you. But I suddenly wondered. Why did you put this in a visible pocket?”
“… … .”
“I see that those ascenders sent a celestial demon to banish me from Earth, but there’s no way you would have asked for it out of thin air. And since you said you like to trade… … I guess this is the ‘price’?”
“You damn bastard.”
“Okay, but I suddenly need something.”
“… … What is that?”
“The star #875 that Cheonma spoke of, the dimensional stone that leads there.”
“… … It’s not a dimensional stone, but its correct name is a moving stone.”
“Whatever it is.”
“… …Will that save me?”

“I’ll save you. Oh, and give me the stone to return to, no, the moving stone too.”
“… … Okay. I’ll give you two stones.”
“Just in case, give me four.”
“… … Four?”
“Two going to #875, two coming to Earth.”
“… … .”
“Why? You don’t like it? If you don’t like it, then don’t.”
To an outsider, this conversation might not seem like much of a surprise.
But no.
There were too many omitted stories between simple conversations.
Gowoorun continued to question Jin Shihou, who was in front of him, wondering if he would really save him, and Jin Shihou…
This is definitely a must.
Jin Shihou had no intention of letting Goyourun live.
I plan to kill him.
Although promises made once are always kept, there are exceptions.
To those who hit him in the back of the head, Jin Shihou doesn’t keep his promises.
“Four, I’ll give it to you right now.”
Goeuroon took out four moving stones from the subspace. On the surface of the stones, two were marked #875, and the remaining two were marked #2403.
It was written like this.
“Are you sure about this?”
“… … It is certain.”
“I can’t believe it.”
“I keep good faith in my dealings.”
“That guy hit the back of your head?”
“… … .”
“I’m leaving it at that, but I want to hear it now.”
“what?”
Jin Shihou smiled brightly.
“testament.”
“… … .”
“Tell me. I’ll listen.”
“Those who do not keep their promises will have even those who follow them turn their backs on them.”
The smile was still there. It was completely different from Goeuroon, whose expression was distorted by the pain constantly rising from his mind.
“You hit me in the back of the head too. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, don’t you know? Since you hit me, I have to hit you too. That’s only fair. That’s the real will of God.”
“… … I’ve been feeling this way since a while ago, but you’re good at sophistry.”
Goeuroon has already given up.
There is no chance of surviving this situation. It converges to zero.
But it didn’t matter.
As I said before, there are a lot of things left out in this conversation.
Goeuroon smiled.
The man in front of you is holding not one, but two relics of the Heavenly King.
The ascendants and this man are destined to meet in some way.
In Goeuroon’s view, one of the two, the Emperor and the Emperor Qin Shihou, must die.
Goeuroon walked to the latter.
“I’ll go first and wait.”
“Or so.”
I kicked my foot right away.
Crunch-!
The monster’s head explodes.
With a thud, his body fell to the floor.
Jin Shi-hoo roughly brushed off the foreign substances on his feet, put the four moving stones into the subspace, and then turned around.
The original plan was to wipe out all the zombies in Germany, but since things had already changed, it seemed better to just come up with a new plan.
I picked up the watch and contacted Jin Song.
[How many elves are left?]
The reply came quickly.
[32 horses.]
[That’s fast. Wasn’t there originally over 100?]
[Helena and Yuha have also moved. We can wipe them all out by tomorrow.]
Jin Shihou’s new plan was nothing special.
Emperor.
I plan on killing the zombie emperor.
If you kill it, all the zombies will die too. That’s how Chapter 1 of Phase 2 ends.
There was no need to drag it out.
[Tell everyone to move. Get everything sorted out today.]
[… … Aren’t you rushing too much?]
[There’s no reason to drag it out.]
[… … .]
[Let’s finish it today. Sister, take charge. Send the ones who are dissatisfied to me.]
There was no reply for a while.
About two minutes passed.
[Are you okay?]
[Yeah, it’s okay.]
[… … I think you’re planning on catching the Zombie Emperor, right?]
[that’s right.]
[You do it?]
[Yeah, I think it’s better to do it alone.]
[Okay. I’ll organize all the hints I’ve gathered so far and send them to you.]
He just put his arm down.
Why am I so anxious?
And Jin Shi-hoo, who confirmed all the hints about the Emperor from his older sister.
I sighed silently.
* * *
The ascenders stared at the blank screen for a while in silence.
I had nothing to say.
No, it would be more accurate to say that I am at a loss for words.
The story of the stars must never stop.
Just stopping is a disaster in itself.
It is not a disaster for the ascended, but a disaster for the entire world.
The story of the stars is sublime.
Even if the method is cruel and countless people die, it is a price that can be paid at any time in the future, if only it can prevent the ‘future causality’.
Throughout the thousands and tens of thousands of years of history, there was one man who tried to completely shatter the story of the stars themselves.
Heavenly Lord.
He was simply called the Heavenly Lord.
He was the only being who almost broke the story of the stars, and the ascendants stopped him, each paying their own ‘price’.
But the Heavenly Lord was by no means an easy being.
someday.
In the distant future or the distant past, someone thought they would continue their legacy and hid the ‘invincibles’ that could shatter the story of the stars in this world.
There are five of those weapons in total.
As far as the Ascendants know, one of the five weapons is the story of the stars, and the other four are spread throughout the stars.
The reason why the story of the stars has that innocence is simple.
Because the Heavenly King made a deal with the story of the stars at the moment of his death.
The details of that deal are unknown to the ascendants. To be precise, no one in this world knows.
One of those weapons fell into the hands of Jin Song-i some time ago, and Jin Song-i passed it on to her younger brother, Jin Shi-hu.
And the relic of the Heavenly Lord that Goeuroon had obtained from Star #1200 also fell into Jin Shihou’s hands.
Now, out of the five weapons, two are in the hands of one person.
Moreover, that one person has a strange relationship with the ascendants now.
The female silhouette spoke as it was, without any exaggeration.
“It’s too powerful to just ignore.”
I was really sincere.
I didn’t care what the hunting dog Cheonma had planned. The power of Cheonma Ju Seongcheol was within the acceptable range, and Ju Seongcheol himself was a bug that could step on and kill the human at any time.
But it wasn’t Jin Shi-hoo of Star #2403.
The power that was felt when the Heavenly Horse was subdued.
And his physical condition after subduing Cheonma.
Only those present could notice.
Jin Shihou did not show any ‘power’ for even a single moment.
